Burning Man 2012, by Mark Morford

As the week went on, the Temple became covered in messages, art, mementos, quotes, obituaries, emotions, disires, mournings, farewells, longings, more intensely emotional power than any church you can name. By the end of the week, nearly impossible to walk around near its walls without spontaneous weeping. And look! No bleeding Jesus or judgmental God or leering male elders! Nice.
